Olympic silver medalist Alexandra Ignatova (Trusova) said that singer Maria Zaitseva did not agree to sing her song more than once during the show rehearsal.
On Friday, Evgenia Medvedeva’s show will take place at the CSKA Arena in Moscow. Ignatova performed Zaitseva’s live vocals for the song “Diamonds”.
— I am always very nervous before going on the ice, both during competitions and during shows.
I skated one of the numbers for the first time to music during a show. The singer refused to sing more than once, so I was very afraid to go on the ice. I have never seen such an inhumane attitude towards myself. It is very strange that a person refused to sing a second time. There was no soundtrack, I would have skated to it without any problem. It was not me who chose the music, the organizers clarified.
“I really liked a lot of what I saw in Zhenya’s show,” the correspondent reports, according to Ignatova’s words.
Ignatova is a silver medalist at the Beijing Olympics and a bronze medalist at the 2021 World Championships. The last time the athlete competed in tournaments was in 2022, she missed the 2023/24 season completely. In September, Alexandra performed at the skating tests of the Russian national team in St. Petersburg.
